Still a very talented woman, though.

Her relationship status and decision to procreate sans marriage aint exactly Christian. L-Boogie hasn't exactly been rendering unto Caesar that which is his (taxes) either. So, it's a little strange for her to be coming for people's lifestyle choices in such a fashion.
Apparently Lauryn's responded, and the excuse wasn't pretty.

“Neurotic Society is a song about people not being, or not being able to be, who and what they truly are, due to the current social construct,” she wrote. “I am not targeting any particular group of people, but rather targeting everyone in our society who hides behind neurotic behavior, rather than deal with it.”

This sounds like one big ole' backtrack.

"Everyone has a right to their own beliefs. Although I do not necessarily agree with what everyone says or does, I do believe in everyone’s right to protest," she continued. "The overarching message of my music is to get up and stop compromising! And hopefully it will stimulate and motivate the changes that our society needs."

More ambiguity
. I think she said what she meant in the song, and I and other fans of TMOLH were willing to suspend judgement until she at least had a chance to respond. I was reluctant to come for her with all the rumors swirling about her mental issues, but I don't think there was anything particularly deep embedded in Neurotic Society, although Lauryn would have us believe otherwise.
